URL Pinger

Target Audience

- Web Developers: Need to monitor multiple URLs and check their availability regularly.
- System Administrators: Require automated checks to ensure web services are up and running.
- Digital Marketers: Want to track the status of landing pages and other important URLs for campaigns.
- Small Business Owners: Looking for a simple solution to ensure their websites are accessible without manual checks.

Problem Solved

- Automated URL Monitoring: This workflow automatically pings a list of specified URLs every 15 minutes, ensuring that users are notified of any downtime without manual intervention.
- Time Efficiency: Saves time by automating the repetitive task of checking URL availability, allowing users to focus on more critical tasks.

Workflow Steps

1. Schedule Trigger: The workflow is triggered every 15 minutes based on the defined schedule.
2. URLs List: A predefined list of URLs is set, including:
- http://firsturl.com
- https://secondurl.com
- https://thirdurl.com
3. Split Out: The list of URLs is split into individual items for processing.
4. HTTP Request: Each URL is pinged using an HTTP request to check its availability. If a URL is down, the workflow continues without interruption, allowing for flexibility in error handling.

Customization Guide

- Adding or Removing URLs: Users can modify the URLs List node to add or remove URLs as needed by changing the array in the assignments.
- Adjusting the Schedule: The frequency of checks can be changed in the Schedule Trigger node by modifying the minutesInterval value to any desired number of minutes.
- Error Handling: Users can customize the behavior of the HTTP Request node in case of errors by changing the onError parameter to suit their needs (e.g., log errors, send notifications).
